ATTN. news editors: the following are Postmedia News plans for U.S.
midterm election coverage.

* WASHINGTON – Americans go to the polls Tuesday in congressional
midterms amid an undercurrent of voter anger that threatens to break the
Democrats’ grip on power in Congress. Republicans are expected to win back
control of the House of Representatives while Democrats are hoping to hang on
to a narrow majority in the U.S. Senate. The results could usher in a
substantially more conservative GOP caucus that could block much of President
Barack Obama’s agenda. By Sheldon Alberts (Postmedia News Washington
Correspondent). 800 words. US-MIDTERMS. Expected 2000 ET. With interactive map
at: http://bit.ly/bxCP73; microsite at: http://www.canada.com/news/us-midterm-
elections/index.html. EDS: will be updated regularly as results are released.

* OAKLAND, California – California voters will decide Tuesday whether
marijuana use should be legal. The results of the state’s weed-legalization
vote, Proposition 19, could have a major impact not only in the U.S. but in
British Columbia, where the underground drug-growing economy is significant. By
Doug Quan (Postmedia News). U.S.-MARIJUANA. Expected 0100 ET Wednesday. File
photos of Canadian pro-marijuana activists – including Vancouverite Jodie Emery,
wife of arrested activist Marc Emery – who will be eagerly awaiting the
results of the vote.

In addition, Amy Minsky and Mike Barber will tweet throughout the evening
and night on results from prominent and crucial contests.

The interactive map will be updated as warranted.
